We are alive at an extraordinary time. Digital communications, from email to social media, are profoundly changing many facets of our lives.

The record is still rich, and most of the innovators are still alive. We thus have a rare opportunity to document the birth of the computer-based communications era for posterity.

Enter The Museum of Email & Digital Communications, a free and open resource dedicated to recording and interpreting history's most transformative technological advances.
